Breathing Innovation: A Major Leap in Air Quality Monitoring

Breathing Innovation: A Major Leap in Air Quality Monitoring

In India—especially in our bustling metropolitan areas—air pollution has emerged as a critical public health challenge. The rapid increase in harmful pollutants demands smart, scalable solutions to monitor and manage air quality effectively.
We’re proud to announce that Scholarlab Foundation, in collaboration with the Indian Institute of Technology, Kharagpur, has taken a major step forward by signing a Technology Transfer (ToT) agreement for innovative Smart AirCARE system.
What Makes Smart AirCARE Exceptional?
Developed in collaboration with Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur (IIT Kharagpur), the system includes:
Taguchi-based sensors for detecting CO, VOC, and NH₃
Integrated market-grade sensors for O₂, CO₂, HCHO, LPG, PM2.5, PM10, humidity, and temperature
Scholarlab Foundation has designed and developed:
Complete electrical circuitry
A cloud-based dashboard for real-time analytics
Remote connectivity and control
A scalable product design aligned with CPCB guidelines
This robust platform enables comprehensive air quality assessments—paving the way for smarter cities and healthier communities.
Real-World Deployment Begins:
The system is currently being installed at Eastern Railway Station as part of a live demonstration of its capabilities. This deployment represents a major milestone toward commercialization and nationwide adoption.
We thank our esteemed partners at IIT Kharagpur:
Prof. Rabibrata Mukherjee, Dean (R&D)
Prof. Subhasish Basu Majumder, Head, Materials Science Center
Prof. Tapas Kumar Bandopadhyay
Prof. Bhaskar Bhowmick
And from Scholarlab Foundation:
